To be truthful i didn't actually spend the whole 2 1/2 hours weeding ..but listening to allotment gossip old men are worse than women!! lol ..it's good there though everyone gets on with each other they all seem a good bunch i haven't upset anyone yet ..infact the man i spoke to today was the third in as many weeks to say i must have green fingers?? apparently Swedes don't grow at all well down there or broccoli many have trouble with parsnips and beetroot ..but mine is all fine and growing well they have had the grand tour hahaha
i can only put it down to reading up on what each plant needs soil ect and adapting things for them ,I'm surprised anything is growing though I'm neglecting them a bit especially the cauliflowers I'm not hopeful these will turn out
Yesterday i took callum down we had a harvest of some things pulled my first carrots including a forked one they were a bit small as i tried to tell callum but he said we should test a few ill be leaving them a little longer yet
i cut the head off a broccoli grabbed some runner beans, courgette radishes (that had grown to big) and my last beetroot and of course more first earlies
I had a scary moment at the allotment when i saw a rat bait box i hate rats!!! but no one has seen any yet been told if they are seen they get dealt with ..the mayor has a plot which helps :) i think the box must have been moved from behind the big compost bin as that one has gone i assume its in it's current place to be picked up ..... I'm still uneasy there though
